Add a Sandbox Mode

Under considerationby Kebabb · 31 Aug

Add a sandbox mode with a dedicated map where players can freely experiment with weapons, physics, ragdolls, and interactive objects. The mode could include various shapes and props, along with a special tool that allows players to spawn stationary bots at a selected location for testing or creating custom scenarios. This would provide a flexible environment similar to Garry’s Mod where players can experiment without normal match objectives or restrictions.

    I think Bodycam would really benefit from having a dedicated Sandbox or Physics Testing Mode. It could be a really simple map with a large grey flat floor and nothing else, just somewhere players can experiment with the games physics and mechanics without having to play a normal match. It would be cool if we could spawn NPCs and potentially control them, then test different weapons and see how the ragdolls react. Being able to see how characters fall, how they interact with the environment, and how the physics behave would be really interesting. It would also be useful to have options to quickly spawn and reset NPCs, choose different weapons, and reset the whole area so you can easily test things again. It doesn’t need to be a huge or complicated game mode. Even a basic testing area with NPC spawning, weapon selection and a reset button would be really fun. I think one of the most interesting parts of Bodycam is how realistic the game looks and how the physics and ragdolls behave, so having an actual place where we can experiment with those systems would be a great addition.

    I think it'd be great to also change environment parameters such as time and weather, a photomode option (which existed in 2024) to take screenshots. Poses and set animations for bots and your characters. I do believe a map selection for sandbox mode would be ideal and not just 1 map.

    This is the first thing i typed in GMOD kinda lets you do it with a long af mod configuration time.

    Pretty simple Sandbox mode where you can made scene. Like if you want to hunt someone down in an abandoned building, or if you wanna just goof around and spawn in 200 NPC's
